This is my first post since re-vamping my blog and creating a clean slate to work with. I've tried a few times over the years to keep a steady stream of posts going for a few months at a time but it seem like anytime I try to stick with something, especially when it comes to a scheduled writing plan, I either get overwhelmed trying to come up with "something to write about" or I get bored and I leave it behind to start another one a few months later. This time feels different. I think I've got a set schedule down, once a week is something I feel willing and happy to commit to and I don't feel as stressed (maybe still a tiny bit) about that pressing issue of always having something to say.
This is a personal blog, what I write here is purely from my own experience. Think of it as more of an open journal than anything else. Most times, when I feel that urge to write something important, I write it offline or I post it like everyone else does on Twitter or on Facebook. This blog is a space that I'm hoping to use as a means to get away from all of that. Facebook and Twitter work great if you're looking to get someone fired up about something. They make you angry, they suck you in and I know that for me, going to either of them anymore fills me with this constant guilt that I should be DOING SOMETHING..
I want to do something, but I don't want to do it feeling guilty and washed out and drained. So I'm writing here. This blog will be updated every Wednesday, not everything I write here will be major news, but this is for me. This is my way of doing something and it is going be a journey.
